Off the radar - ONE MUCKLE POST

Ok, sorry not been on here for a while. I'm going to summarise the last couple of weeks and then hopefully get back to Karkand, I mean blogging.


Made my Mam and Dad an Easter Gift.... well, I tried... - tasted lovely though!







I've done a little more in the flat, after tearing out the built-in cupboard in the lounge, I've now laid some wooden flooring down and had the walls plastered. Looking good but no pic yet, I'll leave that till a little later!



Went to the Irish Centre in town with my Mam, Dad, brother and his g/f Kim. Was a chariddy do where Malcolm Macdonald was speaking. Class night, few beers and was good to hear about him and his football stories.








My mint Dad


Went into town to meet Champers for a couple of drinks and to watch the Grand National. started in the Goose, couple of cheap drinks and the race. She won so we decided to pop for another couple of drinks. Went to Opera bar for a few cheeky cocktails then decided to go to Aspers Casino. We said we'd only spend £10, which we did but I walked out there with £60 and Tracey £20 - mint. Right, more beers. Decided against going to Indigo because there always seems to be bother in there...



Went to Mushroom instead and lost the plot, too many shots and shooters. Left Tracey in town with Gill, an old friend of mine, and her friends.

Glad I didn't stop out as it was now Sunday morning with work the next day and I'd have ended up in Heaton and in a mess.




Had my bro round for beers, PS3, Xbox and beers.


Was good to see him, missed him quite a bit recently but I have a feeling we might start to see more of each other... yaay!!

Anyhoo, is good to be back!

Bank Holiday Monday Blues??

Being pink lint means stopping in. Stopping in on a Bank Holiday Monday? I'd normally mind but as I've had such a corker of a weekend, I'm happy to stop in and watch films.

Behind Enemy Lines, was ok I suppose. And Hannah, really enjoyed that.

Was going to pop up to the 'rents for lunch and to drop their Easter 'gift' off but waited 45 mins for a bus from mine so sacked it orf. Bloody Bank Holiday buses. Grr.


So, couple of films, some garlic and mixed-spice pork stir-fry with pittas and now, some blogging and then top the evening off with a little BF3.

Ungh.....zzzz

Feel like a big bag o steaming shoit today. Totally done in from the Farm-Party.

When we were younguns we danced at Foam-Parties. Now, as old fogeys, we have social drinks at a farm.

Was a corking, CORKING day/evening/night though - pics all up on FB.

In a nutshell;
A nice drive up past Alnwick. (well, nice for us, stressful for the poor lass driving)
Some nice afternoon beers, catching up and seeing old friends.
An awesome BBQ with amazing food and a nice walk through some beautiful countryside.
More drinks, the worlds oldest but loudest sound system and then omg it's 10am, some sleep.
Job done.

Thanks again to Ord for allowing us to spend some quality time up at his farm.

Sunny Sunday

OMG! How nice is it today! Have to do something today!

Off to my mate's for lunch which turns out to be kebab butty and chips.

We watched Paranormal Activity 3 which was good albeit a little empty. I feel cheated and gutted for me mate. Cost her nearly £4. she was dead excited too as it had really scared her so I was looking forward to it but only really got a fright at 2 bits in the film and only because they were jumpy bits :o(

Watched Super too which although wasn't brilliant, I kept comparing it to the amazing KickAss, was better then PA3.

Early night as woik tomorrow.

Satuuuuurghday

Left Anna's at about 9.

Slept at a mate's. Well, I say slept. Managed a couple of hours shut-eye then off food shopping with my Dad to Tesco. Mint.

Had to be done though, even with a stinking hangover/still drunk...

Dropped shopping off then John popped round to help me get me new bed! It's mint!


I've let me mate down though as I was supposed to be at his tonight. I ain't gwan nowhere. Dammit. Gutted as I've pissed me mate off AND I really wanted to go.

Probably just as well because I manage half a can, fall a kip, wake up on the sofa at 3am then struggle to get back to sleep. Finished me can off, fell a kip then woke up in the afternoon with Top Gear on iPlayer.

Nytol.

Happy Friday. Happy Payday. Happy Days!

Awesome. Lush day, payday, Friday and I'm out tonight with Tracey for some catchup drinks and a bite to eat.

However, not all goes to plan.

Upon arrival in town, I learn we have garnered some guests to the session. I'm good with that as they're all good mates of mine but we still might go for eats...

Doesn't happen.

Mine n Tracey's drinks. Yeah, just ours...


The cheap cocktails in Opera are amazing. £10 for 4, or 5 as I was getting! Beverley Hills Iced Teas, like Long Island ones but with Champagne in. 10 in about an hour and a half. Mmmm

Then Indigo for vodkas and some dancin to some top quality tunes, the time spent in there marred by the idiots that decide to start bother and I end up on my arse. Ouch.

Quick couple of jars in Bannatynes then taxi to The Tanners for Anna B's birthday. Muchos of this bit are a leedle bit of a blur. But I remember having fun and being with good friends. Off to Anna's afterwards for a party that saw me photo Fraser's feet and Scotty in a onesie.


Yes, a onesie.

The rest's a blur....

Hurmp Dai

I'm posting less if I'm finding nothing to post but today, nothing happened. Haha.

However, left work and went to meet Benson to get the £20 he owed me.

Met him, Graeme H, Graham C, Jane C, Mike P, Stephen T, Andy B, Owen D of R, Emma R and Hannah in Long Bar. Nabbed me £20 then decided I was going to stop for a pint.

Uh oh.

Ended up hammered, and spent me £20 too.

Long Bar. The New Wetherspoons, Rafferty's then the Forth.

Happy Hour in Long Bar, managed to get 15% off a pint - wtf? What's the point?!
Jaeger-Bombs in Wetherspoons because I'd bought them in the last time we were out.
Weirdness abounds in Raff's as the lad in the blue shellsuit, who was calling himself the Cleaner if you had to speak to him (like to ask him to let you past so you could go for a piss...) he followed Benson outside to ask him what model his iPhone was and how much it was worth... hmmm.

Then the Forth. We were asked to leave as we were being too noisy?!

Anyhoo. What a quality random night. Can't remember getting home.

iPlayer on Xbox? Awesome. So, why do I still have a PS3? I'm undecided....
